How important is a club's look at address to you?

[microcrayfish]

When buying clubs how important is the look at address? In a game that's very much about confidence and feeling good about you game does the look of a club as you're about to swing matter much to you?

You nailed it right there!!!!!

It's gotta look right for me to trust it. I'm usually not a big fan of offset or closed faces. I like a clean, square and uncluttered look at address. I suppose one contradiction to this is with my latest addition...the 4 Hybrid. The rounded ones looked better to me at address initially, but I've grown to trust the square model so much that it now "looks" better to me.....to the point that I'd like to continue this squareness up through the fairway woods and....maybe....driver...who knows... It's funny, though....how my tastes have changed over the years...one look vs. the next. The main thing is what stick makes you feel the most confident.

Has to look right for me. Anything odd or any optical tricks and I won't get the best out of it. I like nice, clean lines, thin toplines. Traditional I guess .

If the face looks closed it gets into my head too much. Can't buy it.

For me it is extremely important, it inspires me confidence.

That's exactly how I see it.

Anyone remember the Clevland VAS clubs? Ugliest club ever. I used a demo set a couple of times and they were great clubs, but no way would I have bought them. Just too ugly to look at.

Haha, I was just thinking how ugly these irons were a few weeks ago, I saw one in the $10 bin at a golf show. I used to have the putter.

Extremely, but with putters more than anything.

There are certain putters I just can't stand over, some are hideous.
